Absolutely beautiful. Except for the wheels, it looks exactly like mine. I've had mine for two weeks but haven't taken any really good pictures, but I'll post what I have. What color is your interior?

When folks see this color I hear the same thing over and over "GM cancelled this color - why?"

We are the lucky one's. Cheers

The pic of "old Blue" reminded me of this one. "Old Yeller" on my driveway for the last time. That's the salesman trying to take off my plate holder. He happens to live a few streets over from me so he followed me home so we could transfer all the junk from car to car at home.

Has anyone bought touch-up paint yet? Is it called Lime Rock Green Metallic?

NO!


It's called "Unripened Green Metallic". Sounds Yummy, doesn't it?



Why would anyone name such a beautiful color that?

Way too dark shade of green IMO. Emerald green would have been much better. I also think they should offer a tri-coat diamond white instead of just white. GM has made some horrible color choices in the past and continues to do so. At least they finally have a good pick shark gray, Laguna blue and crystal red.

Everyone has an opinion and those of us who bought LRG have opinions that it is a great color.

Good that you clarified cause it looked like he was hand cranking the engine like on a Model T.

Good pick, the LRG

I believe these capture the true essence of LRG under varing light conditions.

Very nice! We all need to keep posting new pictures of our now classics and keep this thread alive! My LRG Premier Vert goes in for its first oil change tomorrow. Have not had a single issue with the car. SJ
